Note that bendability often depends on the direction of loading relative to the material’s grain (e.g., in Al-Mg-Si alloys) [1.10]. III. Improving and Measuring Bendability
Wood and certain metals can be made more bendable by increasing temperature (steaming or hot bending) [1.4, 1.30]. bendability
Discuss methods like annealing to refine microstructures (e.g., fine Note that bendability often depends on the direction
Reiterate that optimizing bendability requires a multidisciplinary approach combining material science (microstructure) with mechanical engineering (stress analysis). bendability
Explain the tension on the outer (convex) surface and compression on the inner (concave) surface [1.1].
Polymer substrates used for wearable sensors and antennas [1.11, 1.16].
